For A Fool Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Young and bright
But now just a dim light
Off in the distance
A fallen stone
Following the path
Of least resistance
[Pre-Chorus]
If I still fight, it's just that I'm
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again
[Chorus]
Taken for a fool
Yes, I was because I was a fool
Tell me what you do
I lost my way and she took me to school
[Verse 2]
So many times
Caught up in my head at night
With a leash and a label
If I can learn
Anything from this, then I'd be like
The fox in the fable, all wise
[Pre-Chorus]
If I still fight, it's just that I'm
Afraid I'll slide under that spell again
[Bridge]
The way we used to carry on
Is stuck in my head like a terrible song
[Chorus 2]
Taken for a fool
Yes I was, and I was a fool
I'm following their rules (Following their rules)
Guess I was a very honest tool
[Outro]
Taken for a fool (taken for a fool)
Yes I was, because I was a fool
(Taken for a fool)
